Q:I have a new Ridgid 14 gal shop vacuum and IT DONT HAVE ANY SUCKING POWER?. Can you buy filter that can be washed out? Thanks Craig

Answer This Question

A:  Well duh officially no 

by|Mar 23, 2023

    A:  Hello Craig, Thanks for writing a review and we’re sorry to know your disappointment about the product. While most customers are satisfied with the suction power of this vac, you may return the vac to Home Depot store within 90 days of purchase. The vacuum model HD1400 is rated at 165 CFM suction power. Additionally, there are several factors that can affect actual airflow, including turbulence in the hose and wands. With that being said, if you need a vac with higher CFM, you may contact us directly so we can help you find one suitable for your needs. Also, First, we recommend that you clean your filter outside. Simply remove the filter and tap it on the inside of the drum or a trash can to knock any debris loose. You can also use a soft-bristled brush and sweep the particles off the pleats or use an air compressor or blower to blow out the debris. If you desire, the filter may also be washed. Run water through the filter from a hose or spigot making sure that the water pressure is not too strong as it may tear or damage the filter. Allow the filter to dry out before using it to pick up debris. Remember to check the filter for holes or tears as this may cause damage to the motor of your vac, and will void the warranty. If you notice any damage to your filter or want to optimize the performance of your vac, we recommend that you replace your filter. If you have questions or concerns, you may call us at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com and we'll be glad to assist you. Thanks, RIDGID

              Q:Is this a good choice to connect with an intermediate Dust Deputy cyclone-type dust collector for collecting dust and debris from woodworking operations?

              Answer This Question

              A:  Hello Poulton, Thank you for asking. Yes, this vacuum can be used with a dust collector machine. You might need to use a power tool adapter with the part number VT1407 that connects to most wet dry vacuums with a 2-1/2" hose and can be trimmed off depending on the size of the port of the dust collector machine. The sizes it's compatible with are listed on this page under Product Overview. If you have other questions, you may call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com and we'll be glad to assist you.

                    Placed an online order in early March 2022. The box arrived with a sticker claiming that the 3-layer filter (blue fine dust) had been removed. A 1-layer filter and dust bag were included. Opened the package and found a dirty vacuum with a crushed 1-layer filter. As of 3/8/22, HD advertising on website that this includes the 3-layer filter. I specifically bought this model because I am working with fine dust. False advertisement. Will be returning to store for a refund.

                    Hi Lotoro,

                    Thanks for the time to write us a review and we're sorry to hear about this. The HD1400 product we are selling presently comes with the standard white filter, VF4000. This is a temporary component change due to COVID-19 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) mask support. We are temporarily replacing the 3-Layer filter (VF5000) component. Due to raw materials that are normally used in our production of the 3-Layer Fine Dust filter component (VF5000) being redirected for PPE mask manufacturing support, we are unable to provide the filter previously included with this product. We are providing customers with a 1-Layer Filter (VF4000) component and a dust collection bag. Please note the dust collection bag was not typically included with this purchase. The standard filter and dust bag, that have temporarily been provided in the vacuum purchase, will provide a comparable level of filtration when used together. The dust bag will also allow users to capture and dispose of debris. On the other hand, please call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com and we'll be glad to assist you with the damaged filter. Kindly provide both model and serial number when you call.

                      Wow! This thing really SUCKS!
                      In this case, the fact that it sucks is a VERY good thing because it's an incredibly powerful vacuum! I just got it and have already used it to clear a dryer duct of built-up lint and clean up ashes from my pellet grill! This will handle A LOT of jobs!

                        Box is deceiving... top panel looks like it has HEPA filter but it's just optional accessories. If you are pushing boxes off the top to read, won't see that. Now spending another $32 Like the MSRP of a car showing items not included... 4 stars, not 5

                          Deceptive Description Wrong Filter
                          Did not contain the Blue VF5000 3 layer fine filter as advertised. Was sent with White 1 layer filter. I am disappointed because the fine filter was what I needed. I need the vacuum, so I don't have time to send back. Now I'm going to have to pay another $25.97 for the VF5000 filter. There was a change notice inside the box, but the change was not mentioned on the website description when I made my purchase. Please change your website description, so others are deceived.

                            Product Management Failures
                            Incredibly poor design and product management oversight to miss these product failures. You can’t remove center mounted attachments in the rear caddie when the optional diffuser (Ridgid model VT2525) is attached on the exhaust port. No one at Ridgid thoroughly tested the redesigned product, they left that to the customers. Other rear caddie end attachments fall out at will, the plastic grabber has no tension memory. And when in my lifetime is someone going to design a shop vac with caster wheels large enough to allow a shop vac to roll over it’s own power cord. Really? The only reason Ridgid added locking tug-a-long hoses was because the hoses pulled out of the shop vac when it stopped short on its own power cord.

                              Check your box first
                              I was pretty excited to buy this today. The box, the display at the store etc. all show the 3 layer filter. Lo and behold they substituted this filter with the cheaper 1 layer filter .....something about covid-19. I should have got what was advertised when I bought this!! This of course is not Home Depot's fault, but something Ridgid should have tagged the box with a bright colored sticker. When grabbing the box off the shelf the sticker on top of the box is not visible. I will say that the 14gal/6hp vac is really nice though. Just disappointed not to receive what was advertised.

                                I am not usually one to provide a product review, but this vacuum (and others like it I have owned) deserve a review. Previously, I owned a similar model that was 5.0 peak horsepower that had plenty of suction. That Ridgid vacuum lasted me 14 years and was working perfectly fine until the hose got against a halogen work light and melted. A replacement hose is $40,I needed a new filter at $18, and this new 6.0-Peak Horse Power Ridgid vacuum was on sale for $89, so it didn't really make financial sense not to get a new one. Anyway, this 14 Gal. 6.0-Peak HP NXT Wet Dry Vacuum really sucks. And, I mean that in the best sense possible. If there is a downfall, the only downfall is that the suction is so powerful that you can't vacuum a throw rug, as it just sucks it right up and you can't drag the wand across it to get the dirt. As a construction tool or around my garage, I doubt I'll really use it for that purpose again and I'm pretty confident that it will suck up anything no larger than about 2" around that I don't want to lean down to pick up. I tested it out on some 3" sheetrock screws (vacuums usually won't suck these right up but they just rattle around in the hose until you turn off the vacuum and they drop out on the floor) and they went right on through into the bucket. I've never been thrilled about the stiffness of the hose, but there is no question of their durability - and I've used mine hard over the years. I highly recommend the 12 gallon 5.0 and 14 gallon 6.0 HP Ridgid products as high quality, durable, and powerful. I did buy the 4 gallon 5.0 peak HP version about a year ago but was really disappointed in that one as it didn't have near the same suction of my old 5.0 HP or this current 6.0 HP. I think because it had both a bag and a filter. I ended up keeping the old 5.0 HP one I had and selling the 4 gallon version at a garage sale. I wouldn't recommend that one if you need serious suction. Anyway, I hope this review helps you to make your buying decision. This is a great tool for serious garage dirt and/or to make a construction site "broom clean" in short order.

                                  An ideal designed SHOP VACUUM. The key component of the RIDGID 14 Gal. NXT wet dry vacuum is the locking design for all the vacuum attachments and vacuum hose. This allows you to lead the wet dry vacuum around by its tether (vacuum hose). It is frustrating to clean the shop or the car and tug on the hose only to have it pull out. The Ridgid NXT solved this problem by designing a lock system into every piece of the NXT system. Arrival: The vacuum arrives broken down in the box, some assembly is required; only a phillip screwdriver is needed. Design: The 14 gallon drum has some slight differences to regular Ridgid wet dry vacuums. It's a little shorter and a little fatter in the mid section. I assume this is to provide a little more stability. There are two hand-holds near the bottom for lifting of the NXT. The NXT come with casters that easily pop in the bottom, however, the bottom of the NXT was also design to be used without the casters. Some folks like to use wet dry vacuums as a dust collector in the shop; the NXT can be set in the shop this way thanks to the design of the bottom of the drum. There is a bottom drain for ease of draining liquids, however, to empty the drum of solids will require the removal of all the attachment accessories or risk loosing them in the trash with the contents of the drum. This is a design issue that is difficult to get around. There is little option to design an on-board accessory tool caddy that is not obtrusive or can keep the accessories in place when dumping the drum. The 20 foot power cord combined with the 7 foot 2-1/2 inch vacuum hose give plenty of reach. I like the top mounted handle that allows easy removal of the powerhead and also provides storage for the power cord. The accessory caddy is a great feature to store the accessories out of the way and I also appreciate the side hose clips to store the 2-1/2 inch hose versus unraveled on the floor. Performance: Dry performance is great! The NXT is a workhorse easily picking up saw dust littered with construction nails. The filter performance is very good as well catching sheetrock dust without and filter leaks. I appreciate the design of the inlet deflector inside the vacuum head to prevent debris hitting the filter directly. This also helps prevent the filter from "loading up". Wet performance requires removing the included 3-layer pleated dust filter (included) and installing the Ridgid wet application foam filter (not included). Picking up water on the floor with the included floor wet nozzle is not chore for the NXT. I washed down the shop floor and easily extracted standing water out of the corners in the shop. The NXT does have a blower port but the powerhead does not detach from the drum lid so to use the NXT strictly as a blower requires either the head remain attached to the drum or walk around with the entire drum head. The blower performance is great as well and another plus on the hose and accessory locks - everything stays connected under the pressure of the blower! The operating noise of the NXT is average of what you can expect for a wet dry vacuum.

                                  Very happy to get this new 14 gallon Ridgid shop vac. The 16 gallon Ridgid I have had for about ten years is great and has proven to be awesome and powerful unit but is just way too big to take on smaller jobs. It has been taking up too much space in my truck. This new one can be picked up with one hand with a smaller footprint and has pretty much the same power, not to mention that all of the attachments from my larger one work on this one as well. Ridgid has proven over the years to be quality in my eyes with many of their tools. Have been using Ridgid tools in excess of 40 years and will continue to use them. This one is 14 gallons and has basically the same size motor as the 16 and the power seems about the same too. Comes with all of the basic attachments and I know from experience how many options there are from this manufacturer. Several different types of filters for different applications are also available. Have even had 40 feet of hose on my old one and could pick up carpet tackstrip nails off the floor. Powerful and dependable. The picture is of my old one that is still awesome after all of this time. I have it picking up a shapers dust from 30 feet away without fail. The new one is on a tile job already earning its keep is why I did not get a picture of it next to the other one. Will update. Thanks.
